I "own" two cats.  This is Fox.  She showed up in my yard several years ago as a young kitten.

This is Rajah. He used to live in New Mexico and belonged to one of my father's neighbors.  They wouldn't let him in the house, even in the winter (and it gets pretty cold in New Mexico in the winter).  So he moved into my Dad's house and stayed with him. My Dad lived to be 97 years old, Rajah is part of the reason why.   When my father died I brought him to Tucson.  He is a very smart cat.  One of the ways he avoided being eaten by the coyotes that lived near my Dad's house was by learning how to climb up and down ladders.  He would spend a lot of time on the roof.




Rajah sometimes gives me a hand with the grading.  You might see some of his paw prints on some of your work one day.

This is Alvin and belongs to my next door neighbor.  He comes over every day for breakfast and dinner.  Lately he's been bringing his brother.

This guy, a stray cat, doesn't have a name (let me know if you have any suggestions).  It took a couple of years before he would let me touch him.  I am still very careful around this guy because he's big, strong, unpredictable, and will occasionally swat you and scratch you with his very sharp claws.
